Hurricane Milton has officially entered the chat and it’s making quite the entrance as a Category 5 storm!

As it moves across the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, its winds are gathering strength, and the latest forecasts suggest that this storm means business. The National Hurricane Center has issued warnings, and Floridians are gearing up for what could be the largest evacuation since Hurricane Irma rocked their world back in 2017.
As Milton makes its way towards Florida's west coast, residents are bracing for impact with the storm expected to make landfall by midweek. So, what exactly does a Category 5 hurricane bring to the table? Well, think high winds, heavy rainfall, and a serious storm surge. Those in the Tampa Bay area are already on flood watch, reflecting how serious this storm is.

But let’s put the seriousness aside for a moment! Did you know that not all hurricanes reach Category 5 status? Less than 2% of all hurricanes do, making Milton part of a unique and terrifying club!
